Firstly, sorry for being late for this thank you post. Ofcourse it’s been a whirlwind of a weekend, overnight my life has turned upside down (in a good way) since the finals of #MissEngland2019. My first thank you would be the entire #Britasian fashion and entertainment industry – an industry where Indians Pakistanis Bangladeshis all work in perfect harmony, proof of the fact that given the right circumstances peace and love can be attained among even those that otherwise supposedly don’t get along. I would like to thank ofcourse my teachers and my wonderful family who saw me as their star even before I was anywhere close to my goal. Sam Sayeed , @afofme who was insistent for 1 year and half to convince me to take part in the pageant #asianfaceofmissengland which I won! @angeladawn63 @missenglandnews for having the faith in me throughout that I had the potential to get far. @joggy_kang_official, my sponsor, who on the day of the finals drove 4 hours each way just to get us ready, @puneetbhandal who was there in heart and soul with me, texting and checking on me every hour during the pageant.

She realized she needs to perform her duty after her four-week ambassadorship in India where she gave money to a home for abandoned girls. But she came to know that the coronavirus situation was worsening back home in the UK. 

According to CNN, she got several messages from her former place of work Pilgrim Hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire about the pandemic and felt that it’s time to return back.

You ever felt the effect of DIVINE INTERVENTION? Like someone up there is protecting you and magically makes everything come together in the end after numerous hurdles. That’s how today felt. This photo has been captured on a phone by the talented @soulful_s , a true singh, who drove 4 hours each way to my hospital, and captured everything within 1 hour. This gentleman made my vision a reality and that for me was actually emotional. Thank you @tamararashford.ox you loyal, I like you ( – DJ Khaled) I couldn’t have done this without you girl – that’s some Scorpio love right there.

I felt a sense of, this is what I’d got this degree for and what better time to be part of this particular sector than now? It was incredible the way the whole world was celebrating all key workers, and I wanted to be one of those, and I knew I could help.

Bhasha, who specializes in respiratory medicine is self-isolating after her return from India and is ready to go back to work as soon as possible.
